So, since we're talking about C2, it's draft is 7.8 meters. If wind is 0-5 m/s, set it to 8.3-8.7 and it's gonna make a mess of the ship, depending where you hit of course. Right below the skippers feet or just under the funnel are the best spots.
C3's are actually easier to kill than C2's- go figure. Sometimes mag set below the keel with locked on scope is good enough, sometimes by aiming the same way as C2 works equally fine. One good spot for both ships, if a bit trickier, is at rear of the ship, between the rear deck's masts. C3's especially don't like this.
